Can anyone explain to me why there has been an utter lack of Star Wars games on GameCube, especially lately?? The last one was Rebel Strike III and they haven't made plans to release any of the new stuff (Battlefront, KOTOR, ROTS, etc.). What gives??

I believe lucasarts is working on a system that will replace the gamecube sometime in the near future. They stopped working on N64 games for a while...Then dropped the bomb that Rogue Leader was coming for the gamecube, and that was defidently the best game on the platform in the first months of it's release...

Okay. I understand there is a lot of sentiment against GameCube, but that's not what I was asking. I wanted to know if any one had any information as to why LucasArts no longer seems to be producing games for the platform. Maybe they're not because, as many of you point out, they think it "sucks." However, I'm looking for something more substantial than speculation. Has there been any press on this, for instance?? I haven't been able to find any, but perhaps one of you came across something.

Its all to do with sales and ease of accessibility for developing games too. It doesn't take a genius to notice that the gamecube is the weakest selling system, games developers publishers want to reach the widest possible audience to make most money. Also it is the hardest to create games and publish for.

I always wanted a re-release of the N64 games on Gamecube, coz with the upgraded graphics and controls, they would be sweet.

Some have pointed out the lack of GC sales as the reason, and i pretty much agree. But, with the 'GC is hardest to develope for" i must disagree. Pretty much all the interveiws i have read with people in various developement teams say that PS2 is hardest to develope for.

And BTW, the GC isnt just for kids. Why am i playing Resident Evil 4 right now on Gamecube and not on Xbox?

I don't think GC sucks. The reason GC isn't getting any more Star Wars games is because Rebel Strike didn't sell that well. Like less than 1 million. In fact most of the multi console starwars games sold worse on GC. That's not to say the games sold horrible but they didn't sell enough to warrant anymore releases...supposedly. It's kinda sad though, b/c Nintendo consoles were like the home of the Star Wars games. I own most of them on GC btw.
